Absolom's restaurant, called "The Fragrance of Tranquility", is located on the outskirts of Paris. The location is relatively remote, so the prices of the dishes are relatively low.

In Absolon's words, he operates here because his father, Milne, gave him only a small part of the start-up capital, which he had to rely on to support the store.

Under financial pressure, Absolon had to make compromises.

After the competition between Anel and David, Zheng Ke came to the "Fragrance of Tranquility", listed the ingredients he needed, and handed them to Absolon.

Absolon glanced at the dishes on it and frowned, "Why is it all seafood?"

"yes, I'm going to cook all the seafood on the first day. Zheng Ke said.

"There aren't many ingredients. Absolon asked.

"After all, we only make 10 dishes, and tomorrow, it's going to be a different type of food. ”

Absolon nodded and handed the form written by Zheng Ke to the person in charge of buying the ingredients.

In the afternoon of this day, Zheng Ke didn't do anything else, just wrote out the customer notice.

Absolon read what Zheng Ke wrote on the paper, smiled and said nothing, and after a long time, he patted Zheng Ke on the back and said: "You kid, other people's customers are customers who ask the chef, you are good, it's the other way around-aren't you afraid that those customers won't eat?"

"Don't be afraid. Zheng Ke shook his head, "I'm not here to do business now. ”

Absolon blinked, looked at the confident Zheng Ke, and gave a thumbs up, "You cow." ”

Following.

"Quiet Fragrance" opened early, and after Zheng Ke helped the waiter set up the tables and chairs, he began to cook his own food.

Gradually, customers came in and ordered their daily breakfasts, and the kitchen began to get busy.

In the meantime, four or five customers walked up to the window, glanced at the notice posted on the window, shook their heads, and sat back in their seats.

The waiters glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Zheng Ke helped them a lot yesterday afternoon and this morning, and if possible, they didn't want Zheng Ke to fail to sell a dish. But Zheng Ke had told them before that they didn't need to deliberately recommend his dishes to customers, which made them unable to understand Zheng Ke's intentions.

It was almost noon, but Zheng Ke hadn't even sold a single dish, but he was not in a hurry, and lowered his head and continued to cook his own dishes.

Around eleven o'clock, Catherine pushed the door open and entered the dining room, still followed by her little tail, Aniel.

Catherine went straight to the window, looked at the notice written in English and French, blinked her eyes, and then looked at Zheng Ke, who was cooking in the kitchen, and shook her head helplessly.

These rules and regulations can only be thought of by Zheng Ke.

Aniel looked at these notices, and was also stunned, and pulled Catherine's clothes, "Sister, is Zheng Ke a little stupid? He wrote like this, how could anyone buy it?"

"Perhaps, he wasn't here to make money?" Catherine explained.

On the notice, there are five requirements.

First, this window is only open from the 26th to March 2nd;

Second, this window only provides Chinese cuisine, not other types of dishes, customers are not allowed to order independently, the dishes are decided by the chef;

Third, the waiting time is less than 2 hours, you can book in advance, and you will not redo it later;

Fourth, the price of the dish is determined by the customer;

Fifth, only 10 dishes will be provided every day, on a first-served basis, and each person is limited to one meal. After the 10 dishes are ordered every day, they will not be cooked again.

Among these five requirements, the second and third points are the most difficult for customers to accept.

Customers can't choose their own dishes, which makes many people feel a little uncomfortable, and they don't know what dishes Zheng Ke will serve.

The third point is to tell customers that they will have to wait for up to 2 hours. Although it is possible to pre-order the dishes in advance, no one can guarantee that they will be able to do nothing within two hours.

Zheng Ke's five points are stipulated, just like telling everyone, I'm sorry, this window is only for some people with the "Shake M" attribute.

"I can guarantee that he will not be able to sell these 10 dishes. Aniel clenched her fists and said seriously.

Catherine gave Aniel a blank look and knocked on the window twice.

Zheng Ke in the kitchen turned his head to look at Catherine and hurriedly walked over.

"Why are you here?" asked Zheng Ke.

"Didn't I say yesterday that I was going to come and see it today?" said Catherine.

"Huh?" Zheng Ke scratched his head, "I forgot about it." ”

"How many copies are sold?" asked Catherine.

Zheng Ke shook his head, "Not a single one." ”

"What then?" asked Catherine.

"Eat it yourself...... If there is no popularity, it will not attract people, even if no one eats for seven days, it is normal. Zheng Ke can think about it.

"I'm sure you won't be able to sell a single one these days!" Anier grimaced at Zheng Ke.

"I can't sell it, and I won't sell it to you. Zheng Ke said with a grin, so angry that Anier almost jumped up.

Catherine ignored the bickering between the two of them, and instead looked at Zheng Ke, "Can I try your dishes?"

"Yes, you're my first customer. Zheng Ke had a shallow smile on his face, but scratched his head again, "However, the first dish is a little cold." ”

"It doesn't matter, I can try it. Catherine looked at Zheng Ke stubbornly.

"Well, wait a minute. Zheng Ke turned around and quickly put a dish to the window.

Catherine sniffed deeply, and her eyes lit up.

"This dish ...... It smells pretty good. Catherine stared intently at the dish in front of her.

"This dish is called dried fried shrimp and dates, and there is a table over there, so please enjoy it slowly. Zheng Ke pointed to the vacant seat on the side and said.

Catherine nodded repeatedly, picked up the dish, and walked over quickly.

"Sister-sama...... Wait for me. ”

When Aenel saw Catherine leave, she quickly followed.

Catherine placed the dish in the middle of the table, picked up her chopsticks, and stared intently at the food in front of her.

The dish is not complicated, with a layer of green lettuce leaves at the bottom of the plate, and a yellow jujube-shaped balls are placed on top.

There seems to be nothing unique about this dish, and Catherine wouldn't even have thought of looking at it if it was far away. However, when Catherine closed the distance to the dish, the thick aroma had already entered her nose, and saliva continued to flow.

Aniel didn't see the merits of this dish just now because she was far away, and after sitting down, the strong aroma unconsciously occupied her taste buds and made her unable to extricate herself.
